FAQ?

What is the difference between game translation and game localization?

Game translation services simply convert text from one language to another. Video game localization is a deeper process that adapts cultural references, humor, idioms, and technical UI elements to ensure the game feels native to the target audience. It includes adjusting date formats, character names, and even colors to fit local norms.

How much does game localization cost?

The cost varies based on word count, technical complexity, and the number of languages. Most video game localization companies charge per word for translation and per hour for testing. Afrolingo provides transparent quotes that include glossary creation and creative adaptation to maximize your ROI.

How do you handle Japanese and Korean game localization?

We use native, in-country linguists who specialize in gaming culture. This is essential for Japanese game localization and Korean game localization, as these markets have unique expectations for honorifics, script aesthetics, and narrative tone that standard translation cannot capture.

Can you handle mobile game localization?

Yes. Mobile game localization is a core strength. We understand the unique constraints of mobile screens and the importance of ASO (App Store Optimization). We ensure your UI text is concise and your store descriptions are optimized with keywords to drive downloads.

Why is ISO certification important for a game localization company?

ISO certifications, particularly ISO 27001, guarantee that your unreleased builds and proprietary assets are handled with strict security. ISO 17100 ensures that your game translation agency follows a rigorous, multi-stage quality process to eliminate errors before they reach your players.
